What a wonderful book to go through! So many ideas for vacations, stuff to see, do, buy. And the judgements are pretty darned good. My son took me to a place where I had the best ice cream I've ever eaten. Then he told me that was the ice cream ranked Number One in this book. Lots of fun. The drawback is that the places are scattered all over the world, and so there are lots of ideas for where to go, but it costs a fortune. On the other hand, there seem to be concentrations of locations on the east and west coasts, so if you live out there the book is especially useful. Living in Wisconsin, my opportunities to go to even to these places in the U.S. are somewhat limited. (Sigh.) ( )
